Looks like the exams went pretty good. We all passed at least tho I think Okagura and Big Brother only barely passed again. I studied really hard specially on Civics this year and I think I did really well on that. Maybe if I can keep doing well with it I can get work in the future with the Cherak Deliberative and get good enough pay to help Big Brother out for once instead. Thats what I hope for at least. | Looks like the exams went pretty good. We all passed at least tho I think Okagura and Big Brother only barely passed again.

I had to tell Chisato and the boys which was good since Big Brother wasnt with us for breakfast today that I really needed their help. Everyone got really jealous when they heard. |
The theme this year is going to be the Delights of Autumn and I think that we need to decorate the whole school to make it look like its already autumn with the colored leaves and the fall harvest vegetables and stuff like that. Okagura was disappointed that it wasnt they didnt decide on a haunted cafe theme this year and Chisato hit him with her sandwich and that started another foodfight but that gave me a really fun idea that I think some of the students will enjoy! | The theme this year is going to be the Delights of Autumn and I think that we need to decorate the whole school to make it look like its already autumn with the colored leaves and the fall harvest vegetables and stuff like that.

The boys thought it was a great idea but Chisato thought the idea is really gross but if we make everyone bathe before getting in that might make it okay. Im going to think about that some more and come up with a few more ideas with the others tomorrow nite and then well see how that goes. |

+ | Oh! I thought of something really neat we could do at the festival! Since the rest of the students should be the ones responsible for helping return Dunleavy back to normal we can make it part of the activities for the week! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fall is when farmers are finishing up harvest and it is the time to do repairs and stuff for the buildings and tools to protect against damage from the winter so the work can be thematic. We can clear out all of the old furniture and fix the windows and walls and maybe do some painting and washing to at least make the building clean. Maybe if enough people help we can get things done really quickly and then we can use all of the thrown out wood to build a big bonfire to celebrate around at the end of the festival. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I dont know how dangerous the work is or what is needed to be done so maybe I will try to write a report to the Speaker and find out what needs to be done so that we can plan for it. Maybe Daihama can help with that since he is good at fixing things. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have to think of something that will make it feel less like work and more like fun tho. I dont think many students would come to help if all they are going to do is clean and paint and stuff. Maybe they will let us put up a wall or something with the names of all the people who helped restore Dunleavy alongside a memorial for those who died and everybody who helps out gets a little prize or certificate or something. Does the Lower Deliberative have that kind of money to do something like that? I should ask. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There were some other ideas that might even need some important people to help with in order to make it work alrite. I wonder if the Dragonblooded classes would be willing to help out? I wonder if theyre even allowed to have fun? I wonder if Big Brother can talk to the people he works for? So many questions! Ill have to wait for approval before worrying about it anymore tho. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 13th, 769 === | ||
+ | I almost fell asleep in art class this afternoon but then something super shocking happened to me and then I was totally awake again. Judas wasnt in class when it started but then he suddenly came in walked up to me and started talking to me. Well he was actually asking about Big Brother but he was still talking to me about it and I was so suprised and nervous and tired at the same time I couldnt think straight and I blurted out that Big Brother was probably in Civics class without thinking and I didnt even have a chance to ask why. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I still dont know why Judas was asking about him and I coudlnt stop thinking about it during the whole class and everyone was watching me and I ended up painting a big orange spot on the canvas except for the big streak that happened when Judas came back and snuck up behind me and thanked me for the information and told me everything was okay. He completely suprsied me again and I dropped the paintbrush and the paint plate thingie and the brush left the huge streak. The art teacher didnt say anything about the picture except that the picture was very postmodernistic impressionist or something weird that didnt make any sense and gave me a passing grade. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im so confused! How come all of a sudden all of this is happening!? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Big Brother didnt say anything about what Judas talked to him about and I was just to weirded out to ask him about it. He didnt seem nervous or anything so I dont think he was in trouble for anything. I guess it was just another job or something. Maybe Big Brothers job is actually to help all of the Dragonbloodeds at the school in stead of just one noble. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But Big Brother went to bed shortly after dinner and then we were able to meet in Daihama and Rokumarus room to talk about ideas for the festival. They had so many good ideas! I think with these I should be ready to present everything to the committee in three days. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im so sleepy but I havent slept much because I have to think about so many things! | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 14th, 769 === | ||
+ | I was in the middle of writing the festival proposal report this afternoon when I fell asleep. When I woke up dinner was already over but Chisato had snuck some food out of the dining hall so I didnt have to go hungry at least. She said she tried to wake me up but I guess I was sleeping so deeply I never even noticed. I have to redo pages 22 and 23 because I drooled all over them and page 26 has my faceprint on it. Im just glad that Im allowed to look at old proposals for ideas on how to write this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I guess I can finish them tomorrow. I should try to get a good nites sleep tonite so that I can do a good job on the presentation paper and speech. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 15th, 769 === | ||
+ | I didnt wash the ink off my face last nite and now some of it is stuck on me! ;_; | ||
+ | |||
+ | I did finish the report tho. I will have to practice it a few more times so I can feel comfortable during the presentation tomorrow afternoon. Gosh I really hope that everyone likes the ideas! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im really worried about Big Brother tho. When I saw him at dinner tonite he seemed really down again. Okagura said he was like this yesterday to. Hes really quiet and deep in thought like he was back early in Descending Air. He didnt even say anything about the ink streak on my face either. Okagura started laughing but after I hit him he stopped and the others just laughed at him but Big Brother didnt even blink. When I asked him what was wrong he just said that he thinks he made a big mistake but he wouldnt say anythign else. The other guys all just shook their heads and shrugged. They told me later that he said the same thing to them to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know something is really bothering him but I think he will get over it like he did last time. Im going to try not to worry to much and sleep early tonite so I can be well rested for tomorrow but somehow I dont think that will happen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 16th, 769 === | ||
+ | What a long day! I couldnt go to any of my classes today because I had to meet with so many different people all day. I wonder how people who do this for a living ever get any work done! | ||
+ | |||
+ | First I had to paint my left cheek with a dark smear of henna to balance the ink thats still on my right cheek but I couldnt do anything about the ink on my nose. Some people asked about it and I just told them it was a new style. I dont know if they believed me or not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I met with the rest of the planning committee after breakfast so that we could go over what I wrote and see if they had anymore ideas. That was actually a really quick meeting since they approved everything almost right away and didnt question anything. Im kind of disappointed that they didnt have any new ideas either since I dont know if theres enough but at least tthis means I dont have to rewrite anything. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon practicing my presentation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the Lower Deliberative meeting I made my presentation and it was just about perfect! I even got a little applause. So far the Lower Deliberative approved of everything except there was this really long pause before they approved the idea with the grapes. Now I have to make the presentation again to the Speaker and he is supposed to take th eideas to the Higher Deliberative so that final approval is made. Ohhh I hope everything is passed! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im so relived that its all done tho. I can finally get some rest before the meeting with the Speaker. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 17th, 769 === | ||
+ | AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 18th, 769 === | ||
+ | I thought I was finnaly going to be able to get some rest but this is all so very very crazy. I was so shocked by everything that happened yesterday that I didnt go to class today and while I was lying in bed I think I figured everything out. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Big Brother is getting married to a super beautiful woman! Theres no other explanation! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wait let me go back. I was to shocked to write about this yesterday. While we were all hanging around in Big Brothers room we heard all this noise of people running down the hall and a lot of shouting going on. When we looked out the door to check we saw this super beautiful lady walking down the hall and she was coming right at us! Big Brother ducked back inside and said "I was never here" and then he jumped out the window! | ||
+ | |||
+ | I didnt even have enough time to scream because that super beautiful lady stopped in the doorway and suprised us all by asking if Big Brother was there. I think everyone else was shocked to becuase I didnt hear anyone say anything but I saw everyone point out the window. I did it to! She just looked around and said "ah" and then left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We all wanted to see what was going on and we couldnt figure it out by standing there so we all followed the lady down the hall. I think the rest of the dorm was following to because it was really crowded in the staircase as she climbed up towards the roof. When she got there and opened the door I saw Big Brother standing there waiting for her and then he closed the door on our faces! | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was really angry with him but I was more curious about trying to hear what he was saying and we all had our ears pressed up against the door but there was so much noise behind us that I couldnt hear anythign and I dont think the others could hear anyhting either and everyone was pushing up against us so we were all squished against the door. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Suddenly the door cracked and opened from everyone pushing up against it and we spilled out onto the roof and then we saw it. Big Brother was there hugging the super beautiful lady! I heard a lot of guys screaming in shock but I couldnt even think or say anything. I coudlnt beleive that Big Brother had a girlfriend for so long but never said anythign about it! | ||
+ | |||
+ | He didnt seem to notice us and when they finally finished they just quietly walked back out over everyone who was still lying on the ground crying. He had that same sad face that he had a couple of nites ago and he didnt say anythign as he passed me but he patted me on the head. The super beautiful lady left the dorm and Big Brother went back to his room and locked the door. Okagura had to sleep in Rokumaru and Daihamas room that nite. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So anyway today I was just thinking about it and now I know why Big Brother is gone so many nites and I probably really did see him sneaking outside that one time. She is probably from a noble family to because her clothes were really fancy and pretty and the flower design on her headpiece was just so awesome! But I guess that she is the real reason he is able to work for a noble family and then why he is albe to work with or for so many others. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im just so frustrated that Big Brother never told me about her and why he never mentioned he had a girlfriend. I guess his fiancee now! Im going to have to give him a piece of my mind later! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ohhhh! Im just so frustrated I cant sleep even tho I really need to since I havent been able to sleep good for the past week. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 19th, 769 === | ||
+ | Big Brother had us all meet him in his room after dinner tonite because he had something very importnat to tell us. Of course we all had it figured out already. Well except maybe Okagura. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But then what he told us was kind of confusing. He said he was going to be adopted into the Margard family. When I said I thought he was going to get married he spit the water he was drinking all over Okagura. Chisato rapped me over the head. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He said that the woman we saw was going to become his mother and he was going to become a noble for our protection. I didnt understand. This all made less sense to me than it did a couple of nites ago. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He told us he would explain everything after all this crazy stuff was over with but for now he wanted to tell us that we were all invited to go to the ceremony at the end of this week. He had some nice clothes for us already and he pulled out very fancy outfits for everybody even Chisato. He told us we could keep them afterwards to! | ||
+ | |||
+ | When I asked him why he was being adopted Chisato and Rokumasu gave me this funny look but Big Brother only said that it was because he was different. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I dont get it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I dont think Im going to be able to sleep well tonite either. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 20th, 769 === | ||
+ | AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | BIG BROTHER IS A DRAGONBLOODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Ascendant Water the 21st, 769 === | ||
+ | Today was the day Big Brother became a part of the Margard family. Im still a little bit numb about all that has been goign on but finally everything is starting to make sense for real this time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was worried about getting Big Brother a gift but then Chisato reminded me that we did get him one three weeks ago. The brooch! I swear Big Brother started to cry when we gave it to him and told him about it but he just punched Okagura in the shoulder and knocked him down and turned away from us and told us all thanks before he had to go talk to others. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Im not sure of the reasons but even tho Big Brother was adopted I was not and I am not a part of the family but they still welcomed me warmly. I am still recognized as his birth sister and I guess that means a lot to me but I kind of wish I had people that I could call mom and dad to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Margards also introduced a couple of kids to us our age that said they would be helping to protect us when Big Brother wasnt around. The one that will be watching me I think his name was Sagara or Sousuke or something like that and he looks really stern. I dont think I ever saw him smile or blink. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Speaker Mizugami was there at the ceremony to. We were all kind of out of place there but he came to us later and told us that Big Brother had kept everything a secret from us because he wanted to protect us and because he didnt want to be treated differently by us because he sitll wants us all to love him like we always have. Me and Chisato started crying about that and Daihama and Rokumasu just nodded their heads quietly. Okagura was confused but Mizugami told him we would explain it to him later. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I thikn I will keep it a secret from him for a little while longer. | ||
− | + | The ceremony was very nice and not as solemn as I thought it would be. I saw a lot of very important people there and I even saw all of the Dragonblooded students there even the princess and Judas. All this time Big Brother was near all of these people and as far as I can tell he hasnt changed to much. But I wonder what will happen from now on? |

Descendant Air the 16th, 768
There was a special meeting of the Lower Deliberative today and we were told that the ghost problem at Dunleavy was solved! Well at least mostly solved. They got rid of the main big bad ghosts and now it is up to the rest of the students and future generations to help get the dorms to how they were before the demon Glory happened and that should get everything back to normal again in a few years. I guess that means it is up to the Lower Deliberative to decide on something but I am not sure. I dont think anyone else is sure either because no decision was made but I guess we will talk about it more later.
I was going to ask Big Brother about it more consider what Chisato said but hes been busy for the last couple of days and I havent seen him to ask.
Descendant Air the 17th, 768
I tried to ask Big Brother about what Chisato saw a couple of nites ago but we kept getting interrupted and everything and I could not get the question out to him. Its really tough especially since the end of quarter exams are coming up and everyone is studying and everything.
Chisato kept poking me in the side all nite and making some kind of sign at me but I couldnt figure out what she was trying to tell me. Shes been doing that everytime we are all together for the last couple of nites, and I cant remember to ask her what she is trying to say when were alone. I guess she is just trying to remind me to ask him about Dunleavy.
Im trying to Chisato!
Descendant Air the 20th, 768
I was right! I finally got to ask Big Brother why he was at Dunleavy last week and he told us he was there for his work. Rokumasu and Chisato made a funny face and it looked like they were about to laugh or something. If that was a joke I didnt get it and it looked like Daihama and Okagura didnt get it either.
Descendant Air the 24th, 768
For some reason I keep thinking that I am forgetting something very important. Chisato keeps poking me during our study sessions together with the boys to but she still wont tell me why.
Ascendant Water the 1st, 769
Looks like the exams went pretty good. We all passed at least tho I think Okagura and Big Brother only barely passed again. I studied really hard specially on Civics this year and I think I did really well on that. Maybe if I can keep doing well with it I can get work in the future with the Cherak Deliberative and get good enough pay to help Big Brother out for once instead. Thats what I hope for at least.
I still have the feeling I am forgetting something tho. Chisato stopped poking me at least.
Ascendant Water the 10th, 769
Omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh!
At tonites Lower Deliberative meeting the Speaker finally presented the theme for the school festival which was really neat and everything except then he recommended ME to be the committee leader. ME! By name!
ME!
I dont even know how he knew my name from everyone else in the Deliberative especially since this is my first year in the Deliberative and everything and Im just a class representative instead of the one of the more important elected people and everyone else was really suprised especially me! But this was the first time Speaker Mizugami ever really made an opinion on anything and everyone voted in favor of making me the festival committee chairperson. I think that was like the first unanimous vote since I became part of the Lower Deliberative to!
Omigosh Im so nervous! What am I going to do? I dont knowif I can do it! Maybe Ill ask Chisato and the boys for help but I still want to suprise Big Brother so I cant tell him.
But right now Im still all squee! I couldnt stop bouncing while we were hanging around in Big Brothers room and Okagura thought I had to go to the bathroom. Stupid idiot.
Ascendant Water the 11th, 769
I didnt get much sleep last nite. I stayed up for a long time thinking about what we can do for the festival and everything and I was also wondering how the Speaker knew about me and why I was chosen and if I could do the job alrite. I thought I saw Big Brother running around outside really late but I think I was just seeing things because I was so tired.
I decided I dont know enough to do this by myself even tho the committee has about 20 other members they are all looking up to me to make the decisions and everything because the Speaker nominated me personally. I had to tell Chisato and the boys which was good since Big Brother wasnt with us for breakfast today that I really needed their help. Everyone got really jealous when they heard.
The theme this year is going to be the Delights of Autumn and I think that we need to decorate the whole school to make it look like its already autumn with the colored leaves and the fall harvest vegetables and stuff like that. Okagura was disappointed that it wasnt they didnt decide on a haunted cafe theme this year and Chisato hit him with her sandwich and that started another foodfight but that gave me a really fun idea that I think some of the students will enjoy!
Since some wines grapes are harvested and pressed in the autumn maybe the school can get a giiiiiigantic pit of grapes that students can jump down into and fight and wrestle and and foodfights in and get all messy and stuff and then use the pulp to make wine out of later. The boys thought it was a great idea but Chisato thought the idea is really gross but if we make everyone bathe before getting in that might make it okay. Im going to think about that some more and come up with a few more ideas with the others tomorrow nite and then well see how that goes.
Ascendant Water the 12th, 769
Oh! I thought of something really neat we could do at the festival! Since the rest of the students should be the ones responsible for helping return Dunleavy back to normal we can make it part of the activities for the week!
Fall is when farmers are finishing up harvest and it is the time to do repairs and stuff for the buildings and tools to protect against damage from the winter so the work can be thematic. We can clear out all of the old furniture and fix the windows and walls and maybe do some painting and washing to at least make the building clean. Maybe if enough people help we can get things done really quickly and then we can use all of the thrown out wood to build a big bonfire to celebrate around at the end of the festival.
I dont know how dangerous the work is or what is needed to be done so maybe I will try to write a report to the Speaker and find out what needs to be done so that we can plan for it. Maybe Daihama can help with that since he is good at fixing things.
I have to think of something that will make it feel less like work and more like fun tho. I dont think many students would come to help if all they are going to do is clean and paint and stuff. Maybe they will let us put up a wall or something with the names of all the people who helped restore Dunleavy alongside a memorial for those who died and everybody who helps out gets a little prize or certificate or something. Does the Lower Deliberative have that kind of money to do something like that? I should ask.
There were some other ideas that might even need some important people to help with in order to make it work alrite. I wonder if the Dragonblooded classes would be willing to help out? I wonder if theyre even allowed to have fun? I wonder if Big Brother can talk to the people he works for? So many questions! Ill have to wait for approval before worrying about it anymore tho.
Ascendant Water the 13th, 769
I almost fell asleep in art class this afternoon but then something super shocking happened to me and then I was totally awake again. Judas wasnt in class when it started but then he suddenly came in walked up to me and started talking to me. Well he was actually asking about Big Brother but he was still talking to me about it and I was so suprised and nervous and tired at the same time I couldnt think straight and I blurted out that Big Brother was probably in Civics class without thinking and I didnt even have a chance to ask why.
I still dont know why Judas was asking about him and I coudlnt stop thinking about it during the whole class and everyone was watching me and I ended up painting a big orange spot on the canvas except for the big streak that happened when Judas came back and snuck up behind me and thanked me for the information and told me everything was okay. He completely suprsied me again and I dropped the paintbrush and the paint plate thingie and the brush left the huge streak. The art teacher didnt say anything about the picture except that the picture was very postmodernistic impressionist or something weird that didnt make any sense and gave me a passing grade.
Im so confused! How come all of a sudden all of this is happening!?
Big Brother didnt say anything about what Judas talked to him about and I was just to weirded out to ask him about it. He didnt seem nervous or anything so I dont think he was in trouble for anything. I guess it was just another job or something. Maybe Big Brothers job is actually to help all of the Dragonbloodeds at the school in stead of just one noble.
But Big Brother went to bed shortly after dinner and then we were able to meet in Daihama and Rokumarus room to talk about ideas for the festival. They had so many good ideas! I think with these I should be ready to present everything to the committee in three days.
Im so sleepy but I havent slept much because I have to think about so many things!

I was in the middle of writing the festival proposal report this afternoon when I fell asleep. When I woke up dinner was already over but Chisato had snuck some food out of the dining hall so I didnt have to go hungry at least. She said she tried to wake me up but I guess I was sleeping so deeply I never even noticed. I have to redo pages 22 and 23 because I drooled all over them and page 26 has my faceprint on it. Im just glad that Im allowed to look at old proposals for ideas on how to write this.
I guess I can finish them tomorrow. I should try to get a good nites sleep tonite so that I can do a good job on the presentation paper and speech.

I didnt wash the ink off my face last nite and now some of it is stuck on me! ;_;
I did finish the report tho. I will have to practice it a few more times so I can feel comfortable during the presentation tomorrow afternoon. Gosh I really hope that everyone likes the ideas!
Im really worried about Big Brother tho. When I saw him at dinner tonite he seemed really down again. Okagura said he was like this yesterday to. Hes really quiet and deep in thought like he was back early in Descending Air. He didnt even say anything about the ink streak on my face either. Okagura started laughing but after I hit him he stopped and the others just laughed at him but Big Brother didnt even blink. When I asked him what was wrong he just said that he thinks he made a big mistake but he wouldnt say anythign else. The other guys all just shook their heads and shrugged. They told me later that he said the same thing to them to.
I know something is really bothering him but I think he will get over it like he did last time. Im going to try not to worry to much and sleep early tonite so I can be well rested for tomorrow but somehow I dont think that will happen.

What a long day! I couldnt go to any of my classes today because I had to meet with so many different people all day. I wonder how people who do this for a living ever get any work done!
First I had to paint my left cheek with a dark smear of henna to balance the ink thats still on my right cheek but I couldnt do anything about the ink on my nose. Some people asked about it and I just told them it was a new style. I dont know if they believed me or not.
I met with the rest of the planning committee after breakfast so that we could go over what I wrote and see if they had anymore ideas. That was actually a really quick meeting since they approved everything almost right away and didnt question anything. Im kind of disappointed that they didnt have any new ideas either since I dont know if theres enough but at least tthis means I dont have to rewrite anything. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon practicing my presentation.
At the Lower Deliberative meeting I made my presentation and it was just about perfect! I even got a little applause. So far the Lower Deliberative approved of everything except there was this really long pause before they approved the idea with the grapes. Now I have to make the presentation again to the Speaker and he is supposed to take th eideas to the Higher Deliberative so that final approval is made. Ohhh I hope everything is passed!
Im so relived that its all done tho. I can finally get some rest before the meeting with the Speaker.

I thought I was finnaly going to be able to get some rest but this is all so very very crazy. I was so shocked by everything that happened yesterday that I didnt go to class today and while I was lying in bed I think I figured everything out.
Big Brother is getting married to a super beautiful woman! Theres no other explanation!
Wait let me go back. I was to shocked to write about this yesterday. While we were all hanging around in Big Brothers room we heard all this noise of people running down the hall and a lot of shouting going on. When we looked out the door to check we saw this super beautiful lady walking down the hall and she was coming right at us! Big Brother ducked back inside and said "I was never here" and then he jumped out the window!
I didnt even have enough time to scream because that super beautiful lady stopped in the doorway and suprised us all by asking if Big Brother was there. I think everyone else was shocked to becuase I didnt hear anyone say anything but I saw everyone point out the window. I did it to! She just looked around and said "ah" and then left.
We all wanted to see what was going on and we couldnt figure it out by standing there so we all followed the lady down the hall. I think the rest of the dorm was following to because it was really crowded in the staircase as she climbed up towards the roof. When she got there and opened the door I saw Big Brother standing there waiting for her and then he closed the door on our faces!
I was really angry with him but I was more curious about trying to hear what he was saying and we all had our ears pressed up against the door but there was so much noise behind us that I couldnt hear anythign and I dont think the others could hear anyhting either and everyone was pushing up against us so we were all squished against the door.
Suddenly the door cracked and opened from everyone pushing up against it and we spilled out onto the roof and then we saw it. Big Brother was there hugging the super beautiful lady! I heard a lot of guys screaming in shock but I couldnt even think or say anything. I coudlnt beleive that Big Brother had a girlfriend for so long but never said anythign about it!
He didnt seem to notice us and when they finally finished they just quietly walked back out over everyone who was still lying on the ground crying. He had that same sad face that he had a couple of nites ago and he didnt say anythign as he passed me but he patted me on the head. The super beautiful lady left the dorm and Big Brother went back to his room and locked the door. Okagura had to sleep in Rokumaru and Daihamas room that nite.
So anyway today I was just thinking about it and now I know why Big Brother is gone so many nites and I probably really did see him sneaking outside that one time. She is probably from a noble family to because her clothes were really fancy and pretty and the flower design on her headpiece was just so awesome! But I guess that she is the real reason he is able to work for a noble family and then why he is albe to work with or for so many others.
Im just so frustrated that Big Brother never told me about her and why he never mentioned he had a girlfriend. I guess his fiancee now! Im going to have to give him a piece of my mind later!
Ohhhh! Im just so frustrated I cant sleep even tho I really need to since I havent been able to sleep good for the past week.

Big Brother had us all meet him in his room after dinner tonite because he had something very importnat to tell us. Of course we all had it figured out already. Well except maybe Okagura.
But then what he told us was kind of confusing. He said he was going to be adopted into the Margard family. When I said I thought he was going to get married he spit the water he was drinking all over Okagura. Chisato rapped me over the head.
He said that the woman we saw was going to become his mother and he was going to become a noble for our protection. I didnt understand. This all made less sense to me than it did a couple of nites ago.
He told us he would explain everything after all this crazy stuff was over with but for now he wanted to tell us that we were all invited to go to the ceremony at the end of this week. He had some nice clothes for us already and he pulled out very fancy outfits for everybody even Chisato. He told us we could keep them afterwards to!
When I asked him why he was being adopted Chisato and Rokumasu gave me this funny look but Big Brother only said that it was because he was different.
I dont get it.
I dont think Im going to be able to sleep well tonite either.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIG BROTHER IS A DRAGONBLOODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was the day Big Brother became a part of the Margard family. Im still a little bit numb about all that has been goign on but finally everything is starting to make sense for real this time.
I was worried about getting Big Brother a gift but then Chisato reminded me that we did get him one three weeks ago. The brooch! I swear Big Brother started to cry when we gave it to him and told him about it but he just punched Okagura in the shoulder and knocked him down and turned away from us and told us all thanks before he had to go talk to others.
Im not sure of the reasons but even tho Big Brother was adopted I was not and I am not a part of the family but they still welcomed me warmly. I am still recognized as his birth sister and I guess that means a lot to me but I kind of wish I had people that I could call mom and dad to.
The Margards also introduced a couple of kids to us our age that said they would be helping to protect us when Big Brother wasnt around. The one that will be watching me I think his name was Sagara or Sousuke or something like that and he looks really stern. I dont think I ever saw him smile or blink.
Speaker Mizugami was there at the ceremony to. We were all kind of out of place there but he came to us later and told us that Big Brother had kept everything a secret from us because he wanted to protect us and because he didnt want to be treated differently by us because he sitll wants us all to love him like we always have. Me and Chisato started crying about that and Daihama and Rokumasu just nodded their heads quietly. Okagura was confused but Mizugami told him we would explain it to him later.
I thikn I will keep it a secret from him for a little while longer.
The ceremony was very nice and not as solemn as I thought it would be. I saw a lot of very important people there and I even saw all of the Dragonblooded students there even the princess and Judas. All this time Big Brother was near all of these people and as far as I can tell he hasnt changed to much. But I wonder what will happen from now on?
